Our story
When the coronavirus arrived in 2020, we got the opportunity to exchange urban life in Oslo for the fresh mountain air in Lofoten. That summer, we learned what the meaning of life: to hike the unique Lofoten mountains. Since then, we have taken every opportunity to travel north to do just that. And learning what there is to know about Lofoten life; places to eat, visiting the local pub, trying accommodation, transport, and experiencing the breathtaking nature.
We realized we wanted to help others experience this fantastic place in the best way possible. And after a while, we quit our jobs and created Lofoten Highlights to do exactly this: Help people experience Lofoten in the best possible way. To visit unknown gems, to get the best possible view of the midnight sun, to hike the best mountain trails eat amazing local food - and to experience all marvelousness that Lofoten has to offer.
Our vision
Our vision and dream for Lofoten Highlights is quite simple. We want everyone to experience the undescribable magic of Lofoten.
We believe that experience will look different for everyone, and believe that local knowledge will help you make the most of your trip. By helping you discover, choose and prioritize your time, we believe you will hassle less and experience more - more of the things that make you happy.
Johanne
Johanne has spent every possible minute in Lofoten since she truly discovered the place in 2020. It's her second home. She loves Lofoten so much, she even managed to find love with a local. It was probably inevitable, considering the amount of time Johanne spends in Lofoten – whether she is hiking in one of her favorite mountains, Svarttinden, Kroktind or Veggen, or taking her surfboard out to ride the waves by Unstad beach.
She is quite funny, and there will never be a dull moment on a tour with her.
Maiken
Originally from the south of Norway, this unique soul had barely hiked a mountain when she arrived in Lofoten the summer of 2020. She quickly fell in love with the nature, people and culture of the north, and to her surprise - she also fell head over heels in love with hiking the mountains.
A strange combination of whimsical and practical, she is a wonderful tour companion.
As proud partners of Visit Lofoten and Visit Norway, we want to showcase the breathtaking beauty and unique experiences of the Lofoten Islands.
